I made my own Faux Denim paper!!

This was a fun challenge on SCS today! Making your own denim look paper. I used Brocade Blue paper, then used Ballet Blue ink and rubbed it vertically down the paper length. Then again using Night of Navy, then again with White (Pigment ink). I then heat set it with my Embossing Heat Tool. Next, you turn the paper 90 degrees and do the same process again. I used SU The Free & The Brave Stamp set. I stamped the Eagle/words in black on Kraft paper, then stamped it again with Night of Navy on PTI White paper, and cut out the Eagle. I added it with Dimensions to the Kraft paper. I stamped the Sentiment with Night of Navy. I then used my Creative Memories Star Punch to cut of 3 stars. To the larger Star I added a White clip and silver brad, and Stickles to all of the stars. It was fun!! But if I do it again, I will definately wear gloves!! All of my fingertips on my left hand are blue!

Today I had a Cardiac Stress test, since I have been having chest pains for the last couple of weeks. I will find out the results in a couple of days, but it looked good. The doctor doesn't think it's my heart at all. I had a cardiac cath 2 years ago, and it my arteries were very clean!!!

Rules for the Emergency Room:

Here are some tips to those who may end up in an ER, be it yourself or a family member.
· If it requires the ambulance team and entire truck crew of firefighters to transport you and safely place you on a hospital stretcher, it is time to go on a diet.
· When you present to the triage nurse, do not tell him/her that your doctor called ahead. If you survey our waiting area, probably 50% of the people waiting said the same thing, and the other 50% use the ER as their regular doctor.
· Never start out by saying, "I was searching the Internet . . . "
· Just because you have a phone and know how to call 911, we are not impressed by your arrival on an ambulance stretcher. You had better be sick.

· If you came escorted via EMS for multiple complaints that started more than one week ago and your entire family followed the ambulance to the hospital, you will be labeled a ninnie and treated like one, enjoy the waiting area with your family.

· One complaint/ailment per visit, please.
· Just because you came in on a ambulance, doesn't mean you're going home on one. You better start making arrangements, now. I am not driving you home, or figuring out how to get you home. Cab vouchers are not an option.
· If you have one of these four, go to your own doctor in the morning: A Migraine; the Flu; a stomach virus; or a stuffy nose.
· Do not ask us how long it will be. We don't know. I don't know what is coming through my door 30 seconds from now,so I sure as hell don't know when you're getting a room.
· We have priorities. We understand that you have been waiting for two hours in the waiting room. If you don't want to wait, make an appointment with a doctor. The little old lady that just walked in looking OK to you is probably having a massive heart attack. That is why she goes first.

· If your mother is a patient and we ask her a question, let her answer it.

That's all for today!!!
